The Worm Has Turned in a Browns Steelers Tale
The piece argues the Browns win over the Steelers ended 16 years of heartbreak at Three Rivers Stadium. It traces the Steelers rise under Chuck Noll beginning with the 1969 draft, highlighting Mean Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Mel Blount, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, Jack Lambert, John Stallworth, and Mike Webster as the backbone of a seventies dynasty. It contrasts the Browns’ decline and late 1970s rebuild with high draft picks and USFL talent such as Frank Minnifield and Gerald McNeil, concluding that the worm has turned.
